first marathon.

Yesterday was a fun day because I finally participated in my first marathon ever!! Signed up for run nus 10km with Doreen and Joey. Super crazy haha it was a super spontaneous decision and the last time I ran was like on a treadmill with Joey and LH quite a while ago.

 The night before, Doreen came to my house for a sleepover and we both chatted until 1+ and we had to wake up at 5 to leave for the marathon. Joey just totally gave up on waking up and told me not to wake her up HAHA. It's so stupid because the comm didn't prepare enough shirts so we had to go down at 6-6.30am to collect our race shirt, and the first train starts at 6+ am on Sundays. I refuse to pay money for a cab haha. In the end, we arrived at 7+ so we collected our shirts and deposited our bags and proceeded for the 10th wave at 7.50am with some of the BVG girls from my OG hehe. 

Initially, Doreen and I were expecting us to take 3 hours to complete the run since we intended to walk A LOT. But somehow, we ended up running most of the time, and only walked when there were upslopes. When I saw the 1km mark, I was so happy but I told Doreen, "Huh ran so long only ran 1km only." Then Doreen replied, "Huh no leh it only felt like 400m." HAHA I WAS SO SHOCKED. Coz I didn't expect Doreen's stamina to be so good oops HAHA. She's really damn zai omg unexpected. Doreen and I got really ego after the run and we couldn't stop praising ourselves HAHA WTH GOTTA MAINTAIN. 

Super proud of ourselves coz we took around 1h 20+ mins to finish 10km and seriously felt like we ran 8km. Spent 1km walking and talking to Mavis and Madeline when we saw them HAHA FREAKING FUNNY hearing all their stories. They're a hilarious pair!! Surprisingly, the first 3km we ran felt like a breeze haha like totally didn't feel tired at all. Only felt tired while climbing up slopes. Ahmeng totally slacked and ran back to her hall and appeared after that HAHA WTH. 


Step aside everyone and welcome the most photogenic girl, Doreen HAHAHA WTH. Look at her!! So freaking happy.


Hahaha we totally pretended to be running in the photo hah but looking real yo.

Anyway today was a horrible day. Mondays have never felt so horrible seriously. Perhaps it's because the thought of tutorials starting this week is so repulsive and revolting that I just dread school today. I went to library and after econs lecture with Doreen and Joey and slept while they were studying. Doreen said I was sleeping so soundly that when Joey left and even banged the table, I still continued sleeping wth HAHA. Kept on yawning and I was tearing and tears were seriously rolling down my face when I was sleeping. Was sleeping during philo lecture too and only woke up when we started unpacking arguments and watching the seniors argue with the professor on the answers. I was yawning like almost every minute and it was so torturous because I felt like my mouth was stretching so much with the yawns that it was going to get bigger. I was walking around like a zombie today and my whole body was aching from the run, plus I felt like puking the whole evening. really miserable zzz. BAD DAY. BAD MONDAY BLUES. May tomorrow be a better day!!

It's currently 2.41am and I've just finished watching animal farm and wrote my brief summary on it and my response to it. It's so cool because I didn't know that it was linked to Stalin and the revolutions wow wow. Ok I still have to wake up early to do my reflections on the readings zzz CAN EVEN WEEKS JUST COME NOW SO I'LL HAVE NO TUTORIALS ON TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS SOBZ :(
